Sidelines Beer House

My husband talked me into going back and I have to say, I’m pleased that some changes have been made to improve the quality of served food.
Wings appeared to be fresh made, and hot in temperature.
I’d go back again.

Truly the best wings to be had! I am not much of a drinker but I had 2 orders if the wings. It was very fun as many of my friends were there. It was my first time going there and I will be back for sure!

Although good, the soup was luke warm. Everyone’s fries looked (and tasted !) like grease — how do you mess up something so simple!!! Some burgers in the group were ok but one was very charred on the outside that you could pick the black stuff off. Seafood roll was good.

Tons of beers on draft and in bottle. Places has a sit down section and a bar on the opposite side. Good bar food. Tons of wing sauces but watch out because they are spicier than you would think. I’m a huge fun of hot stuff and 8 has a definite kick. They have daily food and happy hour specials. Crab leg night is awesome Bc for $ 20 you get unlimited salad and fries along w buckets of crab. The turn around time for crab isn’t too bad but make sure that you order when you have one or two left Bc I’ve been there when they start to run out.

Great lineup of beers, great service and banging awesome wings! What more could you want. Very impressed with the variety of wing sauces. Def will be back when I’m around swickley

Been here several times. Service is good sometimes and horrible others. Food is good. Lots of beer. Creepy atmosphere.

I’ve been to Sidelines in Millvale quite a few times. I love it there but it is small and crowded ²⁴⁄₇.
So now we’re close to Sewickley and decide to give that Sidelines a try. Super excited! Great stuff on tap for my beer drinking husband and my cider-​drinking self.
We go and there’s, like, a table! So far, one up on Millvale. The staff is nothing nearly as endearing as Millvale’s but they try.
The reason for 3 stars is two-​fold.
1. It is so understaffed that instead of ordering another drink or dessert, we just asked for our check. Please get some more waitstaff! Your workers are drowning! Even though our waitress couldn’t get back to our table more than once after food was served (total of three times during the night for initial drinks, food order, and then request for check), we still tipped well for her. It’s not her fault that she’s having to rush table to table and hope that she didn’t forget anyone.
2. The food was just OK. It took super long to even get the food. I had high hopes for the burger as I love Millvale’s. No where close. My husband got the wings. The sauce was awesome. The wings were small and seemed pre-​cooked. Half-​passing grade there.
I’ll probably go back since they’re close to our house and for the cider selection but maybe just stick to apps and wings.

The name pretty much says it. This place has a great selection of bottled beers and a decent selection of drafts which is constantly changing. They offer modest happy hour discounts and have a typical selection of bar food (wings, burgers, etc.) with a few vegetarian options. Prices are reasonable especially in Sewickley.
The wine selection is awful and there are few premium liquors so your best bet is to stick with the beer.
The place can be crowded and noisy, especially at happy hour, and the bar is unusually high; uncomfortably so.
But for the money, it is probably one of the best values in Sewickley, if bar food fits your bill.

Local sports pub with decent food and great draft selection.
The beer selection is awesome and regularly carries some of my favorites on draft. The wings are pretty good although I’m not sure ‘best in Pittsburgh’ as advertised. The rest of the menu is pretty standard pub food, burgers, sandwiches, some entrée options; nothing noteworthy, but all solid options for watching a game with beer.
Thursday is all you can eat snow crab legs for $ 20, my personal favorite thing about this place.
Sidelines uses a seat yourself policy and sometimes wait staff takes a long time to notice someone has sat down. This has happened 3 of the 4 times I’ve visited. The wait staff is friendly once they get to you, but can be forgetful about getting menus, silverware, any requests that deviate from standard menu, which is why I’m giving the 3 star rating.
It’s a great place to stop by and grab a beer after work and hang out, particularly during summer when the front windows are open. If only the service was just a bit better…

Con: slowest service around. This seems to be a Sewickley thing. It literally takes a good 45 – 60 minutes to get food, especially when you order the special for the night (ex burger night on Monday). The place isn’t huge but everyone working there always seems to be rushing around. We’ve said something a few times but they didn’t seem to care much which may be the most irritating part. There’s one lady who may be a manager who gets really defensive if you say something.
Pros: beer selection is good. The food is very good should you get it before your hunger goes past the point of recognition. They have fantastic wings and the burgers on Mondays are $ 6 and awesome. Wraps on Tuesdays are $ 6 build your own as well and are really good. Good atmosphere.

This is a cool little sports bar in the heart of Sewickley. It’s a great place to sit at the bar with a beer and watch the game on one of the many tvs. The people who work here are very nice, and the food is pretty good too– but it’s not really my social scene. I always feel a bit awkward when hanging out in Sewickley because it’s a bit uppity.

I would really like to fall in love with Sidelines. But I’ve been there three times and it is always just meh. They have a good beer selection, but their bartenders always seem rushed and aren’t very attentive or friendly. The ambiance is loud and chaotic and doesn’t have that warm and friendly pub vibe. The tables in the dining area always need to be cleaned off. The food is bland. I’ve eaten there twice and literally can’t describe what I’ve had… boneless chicken wings and fries? Maybe? So why do I go to Sidelines you may ask? Because Sharp Edge Sewickley’s kitchen closes at ten and Sidelines’ kitchen is open until (I think) one in the morning. Sometimes it is not good to drink on an empty stomach. In that case, Sidelines it is.

I really enjoyed this place. By far the cheapest bar I’ve ever gone to and surprisingly didn’t get cheap/​bad service. We got the garlic barbecue wings and they were delicious. We also got the beer cheese fries which were not my favorite since I was expecting the thick beer cheese, but it was thin. However, due to the fact that I spent barely any money and got quite a lot of drinks and food I’m very happy about this place. Honestly I’m not kidding when I say this is the least expensive place I’ve ever been to. We got a couple American honey shots and they were only $ 2.75 each. Like what?! I live in the city and wouldn’t be able to get those shots for even $ 4. They had some good beers on tap as well. I wish this place was closer because I would certainly be a regular.

The wing night here is an awesome deal ($ 0.25 from 7-​midnight)! They are actually my boyfriend’s favorite wings in general. I usually like wings with sauce but last visit I tried the garlic parm rub and it was surprisingly good without any sauce! My boyfriend liked the Jamaican Jagoff flavor. Other winning wing flavors: medium, BBQ, honey BBQ, and fit to be thai. I have also tried the buffalo chicken soup-​the flavors were good but it was not hot. We have also tried their version of loaded fries which were great bar food however they could have been hotter. If I don’t order wings I always order the buffalo chicken quesadilla and it’s awesome! Since it’s been a hit or miss with some other things, I recommend getting the wings or a quesadilla. Their drafts are cheap too and they have a wide variety of choices on tap!

The only reasonably priced place to eat and drink in the Wick. Burgers are top notch. All you can eat crab legs on Thursdays. A great local addition. Nice ambiance for a local bar.

I was pleasantly surprised by the Beer Cheese and Sourdough Bread. This is a unique appetizer, and if you go during happy hour, it’s half price! I also had the Black and Blue Burger. The burger was very good, but I thought the fries were just okay. Service was quick and friendly.

I really don’t understand the reviews of 3 stars or lower. This place has a fantastic ambience, great service and a beer selection that is second to none! I mean come one, Cocoa Porter and Young’s Double Chocolate Stout on the beer list?! We sat at the bar and had wings. Their menu says they are the best wings in Pittsburgh. I have not had enough wings in P town to support that but I can say they were very good. We had Hot (they were hot!), dry cajun and wet cajun. I think the dry ones were my favorite.
Only «negative» is the street parking. Highly recommend.

My wife, daughter and I were going out for my birthday and I was jonesing for some wings and a good beer selection. I googled it and Sidelines came up. The bar itself was nothing fancy but had that neighborhood bar kind of vibe.
Our daughter had a grilled chicken Caesar salad. My wife and I had wings and salt and vinegar fries. The food was beyond our expectations. The wings were crispy and I would highly recommend the hot bbq or sriracha honey wings. They had a great selection of drafts and a whole wall full of coolers of bottled beer.
The staff was friendly and there were plenty of flat panel TV’s to catch the game. I am a fan and will definitely be back!

I want to write an informative review but I must be honest to the other Unilocalers!
The night was a blur. I had a great time. I consumed many good spirits. I left in a happy place.
Atmosphere — Jukebox was playing and dominated by Hard Rock (metal). The crowd was younger.
It was a good time.
Try it — Review it :-)

Wings and Suds! Great place for a few beers and a snack or quick meal.
The Wings were rated the best in the Burgh by the City Paper (last year).
About two dozen beers on tap and a vast number of bottled beers in the coolers.
The bar area is nice with some high top tables, a U shaped bar, lots of TV’s.
There is another area for seating with tables that is large and a plain jane area and you have to walk up a few steps. Also, lots of TV’s.
The menu has about two dozen types of wing sauces. The medium wings we ordered were meatier than most other places and nicely cooked. Good sauce, too! Partner had a burger and said it was very good. The menu has some other items but did not really look for anything but the wings.
Service was friendly and good.
